Rodgers, Eli, Ben, Flacco, etc. all get killed in the media and on these blogs. Bad news Texan fans: It won’t stop if Schaub wins a SB. Ravens fans love Joe Flacco, but have to defend him all the time.

The D did their job when he was hurt and made Yates look better than avg. Where was the offense when the D was injured & struggling last season? Elite qb’s in this league don’t have to run good but know how to adjust w/chess game pkayed on the green and white chess board and until Schaub can stand up for himself to his coach, get involved w/game plan adjustments on the fly,start coming up w/contigent game plans on his own, open up the play book to keep defenses on their heels it doesn’t matter what ANYONE tells him…it’ll have to come from the voice in his head to find that courage & hope actions will follow, hopefully as Super Bowl champs.

…which is why Joe Flacco, stone cold assassin with a 9-4 playoff record, got $120MM.
==============================
Stone cold assassin that the Ravens fans couldn’t wait to get rid of until last season’s playoffs.

Sounds about like Schaub.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:39:35 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196779#comment-2661124Schaub is not the issue. I frankly don’t see the point in making the comment the GM did. The Texans are still on the upswing. Also, it’s not like you have a guy ready to boot Schaub out of his starting role. It just seems like unnecessary pressure for a guy that just helped the team win its first playoff game, ever.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:02:08 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196779#comment-2661050He’s 32 – are we really expecting sudden improvements to elite caliber? The Texans can win a Divisional Round game – but it, frankly, has less to do with Schaub and more to do with “learning how to stop elite offenses” and “having more weapons than Andre Johnson”. Schaub is who he is at this point – a decent enough NFL starter.

The Texans couldn’t stop Welker, and they had nothing to move the ball beyond #80. They got some legit help for #80 but did they do much to stop elite offenses? That depends basically on whether Ed Reed can still play – which it sure as heck doesn’t seem like it.

Shaub has proven he can make all the necessary throws to be well above average!
____________________

My one real gripe with Schaub is the arm strength… how many times have you seen Andre have to come back to a ball on a streak route? It doesn’t matter that Andre may or may not have lost a step. Schaub can’t out throw the coverage any way.

I swear he’s cost Dre at least 10 TDs over the years with his underthrows.

He’s a middle of the field kind of guy who will carve you up between the 20’s, but Kubiak always gets so conservative down in the red zone…. I can’t remember the last time I saw them throw a fade route to Dre in the end zone??

You aren’t going to be sitting with an agent hammering out a multi-million dollar deal using “he doesn’t have “it”” as leverage.
———————
I totally agree with you. As long as there are perpetually QB-starved teams out there desperate enough to pay $20M+ for a Shaub/Romo/Rivers type QB, an owner can’t use “it” factor as leverage.

The point I was trying to make is that it might behoove these owners NOT to pay $20M+ to QBs without “IT” factor because if a QB has proven himself not to have “IT”, then why commit such a huge percentage of cap space to him to the detriment of the rest of the team when it’s clear that better players are needed to compensate for an “IT-lacking” QB’s deficiencies? I don’t know if I’m being clear. The way I see it, there’s two ways to win the SB. Have a $20M QB that rises to the occasion or have a severally underpaid highly touted rookie on a cheap contract so that you can spend the $20M on the rest of the team. If you have that intermediate QB, you’re kinda screwed.

If the texans can win the “big one” with the Defense they have, along with the 2nd best RB in the game, it’s on the coaching! They should be able to grind it out and Shaub has proven he can make all the necessary throws to be well above average! The whole team needs to step it up when it counts. How they let my Vikings beat them last season when home field was on the line still baffles me! I bet against my squad that game, was I wrong!!

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:47:20 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196779#comment-2660857GM is right about this, but I don’t know if Schaub can really be any more than what he’s been……….a slightly above average QB.

When the run game & defense is clicking you can be average, but when Green Bay comes to town like last year and completely rips you a new one- you have problems.

Look at Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Brees….. these guys guarantee you at least 14 points every time they step on the field.

You aren’t going to be sitting with an agent hammering out a multi-million dollar deal using “he doesn’t have “it”” as leverage.

@dickjagger… I don’t think it’s that Schaub isn’t that type of QB, I think its that the Texans are built to play from ahead. Strong running game and good defense.

Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:07:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2196779#comment-2660755If your QB don’t have the “IT” factor, there’s no sense committing the $20M+ to him. Your team is better off spreading the $5M-$6M on other areas to compensate for a QB that “can’t go 90+ to win the game”. These team’s other option is to cut bait and try to draft the next Wilson or Kapernick to win while they are still in their rookie contracts. No sense in floating in purgatory like how the Texans, Falcons, Chargers and Cowboys find themselves in every year.

With that extra $5M-$6M paid to the SB type QBs, you are essentially buying je ne se quoi.
